Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Shaun Patel

Sourced directly from Dr. Shaun Patel's social posts and replies.

What is Dr. Patel's approach to laser treatments, especially concerning different skin tones?
Dr. Patel emphasizes that laser treatment is not a one-size-fits-all solution, with skin tone being a significant factor. He notes that older lasers relying on heat can trigger pigmentation changes in deeper skin tones. He utilizes advanced technologies like PicoWay, which shatters pigment with ultra-short pulses instead of thermal energy to avoid such changes. Furthermore, UltraClear offers fully customizable depth based on skin tone and tolerance. Dr. Patel believes that the right technology, performed by the right physician, is crucial for optimal treatment outcomes.

What causes skin laxity and how does Dr. Patel address it?
Dr. Patel explains that skin laxity isn't solely due to collagen loss; glycation, where sugar molecules bind to collagen and stiffen it, also plays a role. He uses serums formulated to interrupt this glycation process, supporting visible lifting and firmness with a multi-corrective approach for skin needing more than surface hydration.

What is Dr. Patel's approach to treating nasolabial folds with filler?
Dr. Patel uses strategic and precise filler placement to restore underlying structure, easing nasolabial folds without altering the shape of the surrounding face. The desired outcome is a natural-looking transition, not an appearance of being corrected.
Source →
What is Dr. Patel's philosophy and technique for lip treatments?
Dr. Patel's philosophy for lip treatments focuses on restoring volume and hydration with precision, aiming for more definition and a smoother border without losing the patient's natural features. He uses a conservative technique to achieve a natural transition into the surrounding skin, distinguishing between 'filled' and 'refined' results, with his technique aiming for refinement. All lip treatment processes begin with a consultation.
Source →
What is Dr. Patel's advice on skincare product application and achieving results?
Dr. Patel recommends applying serum followed by cream. When layered, these products target texture, pore visibility, and expression lines through two different delivery systems. He emphasizes that consistent use of a skincare routine, not a single application, is necessary to achieve smoother, more even skin.

What is Dr. Patel's approach to treating under-eye hollowing?
Dr. Patel notes that under-eye hollowing can make one appear tired even with adequate sleep. He uses precisely placed filler to restore lost volume without changing the shape of the eye itself. The desired outcome is a rested appearance, not an overfilled look. Consultations for under-eye treatment begin with a comprehensive evaluation of the patient's specific needs.
Source →
How does Dr. Patel use specific injectables like Dysport and Restylane products?
Dr. Patel uses Dysport to soften upper-face lines and open the eyes, Restylane Contour to restore midface volume and lift the lower face, and Restylane Kysse to add definition to the lips and soften marionette lines.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$51,386

Payments

37

Compared to peers

Substantially above average

Dr. Shaun Patel received $51,386 across 37 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 97% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was Galderma Laboratories, L.P..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”

The overarching aesthetic goal for all treatments is an appearance that looks rested, not altered, which is the practice's consistent standard for results.
